Multiple Ground Glass Lung Nodules

Just to reassure with regard to what heart vs lung scans show, I had a heart scan last week and saw my pulmonologist the same day, so she read it for me - no mention was made of the bronchiectasis or scarring we know is there. So I need to have another on, for my lungs, next week.
I think it all depends on the radiologists focus when reading the scan.

That is kind of what I was thinking as well... either the field of view didn't include all of my lungs, the radiologist was not really focused on the lungs, or perhaps something about the slices of the images maybe being a different thickness didn't pick these up. Of course it could also be true they are in fact new, occurring sometime during the past two years. Hence, my concern with them being already 4-7mm in size. I think its a bummer that you have to have one scan on your heart one week and now another on your lungs the next week! Seems like they could both be tackled in one scan even if it took two different specialists to read them for each thing... but what do I know.. not much! In any case, I hope you get the very best reports back from each. Thanks again for your thoughts.
